You Did It - Voice

Lyrics

Tonight old man you did it, you did it, you did it
 You said that you'd do it and indeed you did
 I thought that you'd rue it
 I doubted you'd do it
 But now I must admit that succeed you did
 You should get a medal
 Or be even made a knight
 Oh it was nothing, really nothing!
 All alone you hurdled every obstacle in sight
 Now wait, now wait, give credit where it's due
 A lot of the glory goes to you
 But you're the one who did it
 Who did it, who did it
 As sturdy as Gibraltar
 Not a second did you falter
 There's no doubt about it
 You... did it
 I must've aged a year tonight
 At times I thought I'd die of fright
 Never was there a momentary lull
 Shortly after we came in
 I saw at once we'd easily win
 And after that I found it deadly dull
 You should've heard the "oohs" and "aahs"
 Everyone wondering who she was
 You'd think they had never seen a lady before
 And when the Prince of Transylvania asked to meet her
 And gave his arm to lead her to the floor
 I said to him you did it, you did it, you did it
 They thought she was ecstatic
 And so damned aristocratic
 And they never knew that you... did it
 Thank goodness for Zoltan Carpathy
 If it hadn't been for him I would've died of boredom
 Carpathy? that dreadful Hungarian was he there?
 Yes he was there all right and up to his old tricks
 That blaggard who uses the science of speech
 More to blackmail and swindle than teach
 He made it the devilish business of his
 To find out who this Miss Dolittle is
 Every time we looked around
 There he was, that hairy hound from Budapest
 Never leaving us alone
 Never have I ever known a ruder pest
 Finally I decided it was foolish
 Not to let him have his chance with her
 So I stepped aside and let him dance with her
 Oozing charm from every pore
 He oiled his way around the floor
 Every trick that he could play
 He used to strip her mask away
 And when at last the dance was done
 He glowed as if he knew he'd won
 And with a voice too eager
 And a smile too broad
 He announced to the hostess that she was
 A fraud
 No!
 Jawohl!
 Her English is too good, he said
 That clearly indiates that she is foreign
 For as others are instructed in their native language
 English people aren't
 And although she may have studied
 With an expert dialectician and grammarian
 I can tell that she was born Hungarian!
 Not only Hungarian but of royal blood
 She is a princess!
 Her blood he said is bluer than
 The Danube is or ever was
 Royalty is absolutely written on her face
 She thought that I was taken in
 But actually I never was
 How could she deceive another member of her race?
 I know each language on the map, said he
 And she's Hungarian
 As the first Hungarian rhapsody
 Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!
 Congratulations Professor Higgins
 For your glorious victory
 Congratulations Professor Higgins
 You'll be mentioned in history
 Congratulations Professor Higgins (This evening sir, you did it)
 For your glorious victory (You said that you'd do it and indeed you did)
 Congratulations Professor Higgins (This evening sir, you did it)
 Sing hail and hallelujah (We know that we have said it but you did it)
 Ev'ry bit of credit for it all (And the credit for it all)
 Belongs to you! (Belongs to you!)
